Status

In production

The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is the largest and longest variant of the 787 family, stretching the fuselage by approximately 5.5 metres compared to the 787-9. It is designed primarily for high-density, medium- to long-haul routes where airlines seek maximum passenger capacity with the fuel efficiency of composite construction and modern turbofan engines. The aircraft retains the same advanced materials, large windows, higher cabin pressure, and improved humidity levels that define the Dreamliner family, contributing to a more comfortable passenger experience. It first flew in March 2017 and entered commercial service with Singapore Airlines later that year. The 787-10 trades some range compared to shorter Dreamliner variants in exchange for greater seat capacity, making it well suited to trunk routes within Asia-Pacific and between Europe and Asia. Its lower seat-mile costs make it attractive to carriers operating heavily trafficked corridors.

Notable operators

Major operators include Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, Etihad Airways, Air India, Korean Air, and All Nippon Airways.

Encyclopaedia

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, often shortened to Boeing 787, is an American wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 without major operating systems was rolled out; subsequently the aircraft experienced multiple delays, until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011, and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 and entered commercial service in October 2011, with ANA.
